WhatsApp Debuts Apple Watch App With Voice Messages, Other Features

WhatsApp, the popular messaging service owned by Meta Platforms Inc., introduced a standalone Apple Watch app that makes it easier for users to interact with their chats from Apple Inc.’s smartwatch without pulling out an iPhone.

The software also includes features such as call notifications, the ability to record and send voice messages, full-length message previews and message reactions, bringing WhatsApp more in line with what Apple’s own messaging app can already do on the watch.
